Hope someone from this group can guide me further. I had hand soldered this Hermes board in 2017. But now, I am not so confident to do it now. Will get it done by some mobile or laptop repair technician. But before that need to be sure fpga is the reason for failure of board.

I think not many ...

I was following the same document. Booloader flashed using usb blaster. Next in hpsdr, booloader and so hermes not detected.
Today I checked with chat gpt openion. They asked to check below pins to get high, if fpga run bootloader.

Thanks Scott.
Now it is well clarified thet even if boot loader only running, we should get status LED and some other debug led lite. Now In my case, none other than power LED lite now. Pls guide the best way to reflash bootloader. I did using USB blaster with P2 connector and currently available ...

Will Status LED blink only with bootloader? Before loading firmware?

Dear All,

I built my Hermes in 2017 and was using till last week.
One day it suddenly stopped , with status LED stay ON, instead of blinking. Checked all regulator volt come ok. 10, 25 Mhz clock show ok. Instead of 125MHz , I get 122.88 at pin-3.

I tried to reload bootloader (Hermes_Bootloader.pof ...

Hi Team,

After spending some time with my PiHPSDR, I came to notice that once I store a freq and later if I recall this freq stored from MEM menu, this PSDR vanishing error happens. Is anyone else noticed this or else an issue locally in my unit ?.

Please share your thoughts.

Also can you help me ...

Hi Team,
I have homebrewed my RPi controller for me HB Hermes. I notice that the HPSDR shutdown after few minutes of running. Even the HPSDR screen disappear ! What could be wrong ?

Hi Gary,

After increasing delay to 360 ms, I could get rid of that issue.
One more thing to get clarified . I use VAC and listen to radio RX as well as MON signal thru VAC and so PC audio. But in CW mode , I think we get CW TX side tone only thru head phone jack on radio ?

What is function of ...

Thanks Ervin and Scott for guidance given.

Hi Team,

I notice that in my Hermes PSDR, when I select CWL or CWU mode, immediately radio move to TX mode!
Is this a hardware fault or any software bug ?

I have disabled MIC as well as VAC. Still same issue.

Can someone advise me on this issue ?

Hi Scott,

Where we need to limit FPGA Temp ?
Now my FPGA with Pro-1 running , max temp on heat sink is 39 Deg C, with my room temperature at around 9 deg less always.
I have a heat sink fixed to FPGA and then I have a small fan on box top which blow air to FPGA heat sink.

Can I directly load Pro-2 ...

Hi Erwin,

Thanks for response.
I have noticed VFO A & B Vol. Is it same as RX1 & RX2 Vol or AF ?? If same, why we have two different functions ?? That was confusing me.
Even in PSDR screen, we have

AF
RX1 AF
RX2 AF

Then separate vertical Sliders named as " Vol"

Hi Scott,

Do we need to do any modification than changing fuse , to load Protocol 2 software to Hermes ? I feed 13.8V to my Hermes and 5V and 12V are onboard generated.

Hi Scott,

I could see

Vol VFO A &B
AF Gain which is Master AF in PSDR screen
RX2 Vol.

RX1 AF or Vol not seen
Also CTUNE not seen.

Can you tell me the Text seen in Mapping list for these missing functions (in my case) ?

I wish to have a try on Protocol 2 firmware on my HB Hermes. Any risk ? Any special care needed ?
What are the main advantages with this PC -2 ??

Hi Scott,

Thanks for compliment.
We miss the Freq read out when away from PC screen ! We should be able to see the freq ! Rest all OK .

Also I noticed we don't have option to MAP few things as :

1. RX1 AF
2. CTUNE

etc.

Hi Scott,

So we cant do the frequency displayed in OSC screen.
Please find attached the layout details I prepared modifying your layout and referring to some other sample layouts.
I have 3 Pages in my Layout as attached. If anyone interested, I can share the OSC design data file.

Hi Team,

I get ADC Overload Flag when I run CuSDR with my Hermes.
Also once in a while with PSDR mRx 3.4 (latest Ver).
What is the reason for this ADC over load ? What we have to do to clear this ?

It was a mistake from my side to get the samples from a different folder ! I was checking some where ! :)

Dear Scott,

Well , noted. Thank you very much.

I checked the open option in touch OSC Editor to see samples available there. But all folders are empty and so I could not find any sample Layouts there to give a try. I only have yours and that one did not use a rotary Vol control.

Hi Scott,

I could make it working with new Database. I removed all files from PSDR mRx folder and then imported my old database. But I loose some newly created TX Profiles. Can I get it back ?

Hi Scott,


PSDR fail to run now. Means program fail to open.
